Russian author Boris Akunin serves up a murder mystery in a small Russian town, a respected crime-solving bishop and his 'secret weapon,' the modest nun Sister Pelagia, a wealthy elderly lady who loves her dogs better than any humans, and a couple of headless corpses. It's well-written, has some unpredictable plotting, and is altogether a fun read. Just watch out for those Russian names...
